acer-box__I’ve found a good compilation of a lot of articles compiled at this website. Mostly about the anti-trust court cases and other things but some showing his personality as wellApr 13 04:59

schestowitzYes, but performance wise it'll be better.Apr 13 05:44
schestowitzMinor points, which #techrights IRC logs from yesterday help highlight (will explain what was done)Apr 13 05:44
schestowitz1. tuxmachines DB next to go to the container, this was we only need to update one instance of mariadbApr 13 05:44
schestowitz2. unattended, autiomated updated turned onApr 13 05:44
schestowitz3. HV updated after 501 (!!) days of uptimeApr 13 05:44
schestowitz4. VMs will be turned to containers next -- likely the end of the VM crashes we've long experiencedApr 13 05:44
schestowitz5. DB container has 100GB in it. We have at least 400GB for the rest. It's RAIDedApr 13 05:44
schestowitz6. cron jobs mostly turned offApr 13 05:44
schestowitz7. we can soon delete mysql files on the TR VM... and on /home/tmp_mariadb I already emptied that file to avoid unexpected runoverApr 13 05:44
schestowitzMore important:Apr 13 05:44
schestowitzToday's links, the "Combined" files, had an encoding issue. All smart quotes and similar "smart" symbols got all garbled; this is the same thing that occasionally happened months ago. This one file wasn't too huge (Sunday) so I manually edited out the bad chars... no "research and replace"... no big deal as long as it's not a new bug and something that can creep in every day.Apr 13 05:45
schestowitzIIRC, this sometimes happens not due to software bugs but we were never too sure what the culprit was.Apr 13 05:45
schestowitzI'll try to get back to writing now. Didn't eat or sleep well yesterday.Apr 13 05:45

schestowitz> Hi Roy,>> Thanks for your response.> I am most keen on developing my research and writing skills, so would> like to focus on articles mostly, however I am interested to learn about> FOSS and the requirements needed to ensure it truly is free and open.Apr 13 18:05
schestowitzThe writing sometimes goes hand in hand with coding, for example if you want to do some number crunching to research some open data, but coding is rarely essential. Using the text editor well can help too. There are many features and scripts we write to help with that. Apr 13 18:05
schestowitz> I would also like to say that I would be extremely proud if my workApr 13 18:05
schestowitz> contributed towards justice, however I understand this probably requiresApr 13 18:06
schestowitz> more experience.Apr 13 18:06
schestowitzThat would depend on the theme you wish to write about. Our articles about the EPO tend to focus on justice and injustice. GNU/Linux is a lot to do with competition aspects and sharing/philosophy.Apr 13 18:06
schestowitzWould you prefer to focus on patent/law domains or software.Apr 13 18:06
schestowitzAlso, would you be interesting in help curation of Daily Links? A lot of effort goes into researching while curating.Apr 13 18:06
schestowitz> Let me know what you thinkApr 13 18:06
schestowitz> Apr 13 18:06
schestowitz> Best,Apr 13 18:06
schestowitzLet's establish which aspects best fit your interests. The motivations and drive will be there if you follow your own passion rather than somebody else's. It's more rewarding.Apr 13 18:06
schestowitzIf you wish to cover EPO issues, we can share with you some material for whistleblowers to analyse. But a high degree of trust is needed for it; not even my close associate sees everything, as sources are very prickly about who sees what. They risk their while career for it.Apr 13 18:06
